Maple-Kissed Quinoa Cereal

Porridge doesn’t have to be wet and sloppy, and it doesn’t have to be just oats. Around the world different cultures eat a variety of cooked whole-grains for breakfast either loose with lots of liquid (water, juice or milk) or the drier pilaf-style, like this Maple-Kissed Quinoa Breakfast. Other small, fast-cooking whole-grains that can replace the quinoa in this recipe are amaranth, or fonio (a new whole-grain that has been introduced recently to Canada, see link below!)

Mix cooked quinoa or other choice of whole-grain (I cook enough at dinner so I have leftovers for breakfast!) with dried cranberries and a good dose of cinnamon and slivered almonds. Drizzle with maple syrup.

I don't typically add any non-dairy beverage or anything else, but you could choose to add non-dairy milk or yogurt if you like a more liquidy cereal. Enjoy!
